***Updated: 6/15***Hey folks. So I'm finally getting this going and just in time for Re/Alignment's first anniversary! You probably got the basic gist from Wing's
network post so here are the rest of the details. Much of this is still flexible/tentative so keep an eye on this post for any changes.
The Games will last for three days, starting sometime the week of June 24th. (the 21st is the actual anniversary day, but I will be out of town on vacation at that time.) The location I'm thinking could be a crater in Nexus's quadrant, since it's fitting and sort of near the bar/Hub.
The big thing here to note is that I want anyone to be able to contribute to this. It's a co-op, Bring Your Own Activity type event. I'll make the framework, setup the log, and then there'll be a spot that people can create a subthread for any activity they wish to organize and run both OOC and IC. (please try to keep it to one activity per person so we don't get overloaded/spread out)
Want to organize an event but you don't have a character who would do it ICly? Team up with someone! The event is opt-in though, you don't have to participate if you don't want to. Any winners will be decided by RNG, facilitated by the person running that activity.
Organizing an event is easy. At minimum, you need: - Decide the details of said activity.
- Send me a 1-2 sentence summary to add to the open log description.
- Post a scene (just like you would in a log) featuring the activity when the open log goes up so people can mingle there.
- OPTIONAL: If you want to decide winners then you can look at who tagged in as a participant and RNG to find a winner.
Here's the event ideas that came out of my plurk about this. THIS IS JUST A START. Suggestions welcome. Any of this can happen at the Games but if you want a mingle area for it someone needs to take charge of it.
Claimed Activities:
- Airshow: (Wing organizing, Swoop to do a night performance)
- Scavenger Race: One mech and one humanoid must team up to fetch various items from each FF quadrant. Kind of like Amazing Race. (Drift organizing)
- Drag race or short-med distance race like 300 meters? (Knock Out organizing. We might not have roads done so we'll have to smooth some of the flat terrain.)
- Marksmanship competition (Strelok organizing, needs the help of a Cybertronian)
- Karaoke at the bar (Ravage will help but needs supervision)
- Medic tent (Red Alert organizing, Ambulon & Barricade volunteered to assist)
Unclaimed:
- Hauling: Feat of strength aimed at strong grounders/tanks but humanoids are welcome to compete as well. Could be either as a race altogether or each sees how far they can get in a specific time limit.
- Feat of strength that’s more human friendly (take something from Highland games?)
- General talent competition? Dancing, poetry, singing, musical performance, etc.
- Smaller carnival type games: tossing ping-pong balls, water pistols, pachinko machine?
- Paintball War *new
- Aerial obstacle course *new
- Any others? Suggestions welcome!
Anyone who wants to organize a game or activity let me know and I'll add it to the claimed list above. I'd like to avoid duplicate/similar activities so please check the list and replies here first. Thanks!
